AMIRA'S POV
*criing*
"Hello nat?"
"Ate, where are you?"
"I'm with ace, why?" I look at ace when he suddenly hold my hand, placed at my leg.
"Actually ate kailangan ka talaga namin ng kaibigan ko" kumunot ang noo ko sa biglaang pagbaba ng boses niya.
"For what nat?"
"Ganito kasi yun ate n-n-na"
"'na' what?"
"Nabankcrupt ang kompanya niya kasi ate, I just want to help her but I don't know how can I help her"
"Well, that's not our problem anymore nat, let her find a way to work on her business"
"Ate~ I made a promise to her, I can't ignore her anymore and besides the whole world knew you so I really think you could help us and remember my friend before? One of them is what I am talking about" I just took a sigh and look at ace. He nodded so I took another sigh.
"We'll see what we can do with that. Anyway"
"Ano ate?" hinalikan pa ni ace ang likod ng palad ko.
"Uuwi kami dyan sa susunod na araw so please prepare my room and GUEST ROOM" natatawang sabi ko.
"Will ace come too?"
"Of course he will kailan pa humiwalay sa akin to? Hahaha"
"Ah yeah hehehe sige ate I'll tell nanay--"
"No, don't let her do that. YOU will do it"
"Owww sige ate~ but promise me!! Help my friend!! Ate~"
"Oo na nga sabe! Sakto ding uuwi kami dyan pero huwag mo kaming paghintayin dahil hindi kami magtatagal dyan! Sabihan mo siya ng maaga" binaba ko na ang tawag at tahimik na tumingin sa labas ng bintana.
A thought came to my mind. A memory to be exact! I-- no amira! Wag kang magisip! Mas lalo ka lang maguguluhan!
"Bakit natahimik ka bigla?" napatingin ako sa kanya at ngumiti-- to say that nothing is wrong.
"I am thinking about your surprise haha naeexcite na ako"
NATHALIE'S POV
Kumaripas agad ako ng takbo sa banyo. I just called ate and now I am eager to tell the good news! Natapos na ako at lumabas agad. Hindi ko na kailangang magpaalam!!
After so many years ngayon lang ako nakatanggap ng salitang yun galing sa kanya!
"Hindi ako makapaniwala na uuwi na siya!!" she was hard to reach since she decided to live in new york. Bakit kaya sila uuwi ngayon??
"Where are you going??!" tumingin lang ako kay mommy na kakababa lang ng kotse. I just waved my hand to say bye "NATHALIE COME BACK!!"
"I NEED TO GO MOM!" sumakay na ako ng taxi at tinungo agad ang tinitirhan nina ate bea.
***
"Bea! Ate bea!" nakita ko sila sa may playground ng bahay nila "Yes! Yes!"
"Hey?" napatigil ako nang unang lumingon sa akin si cj. I-I should moved on now, right?
'Yung akala mong mutual pero nagaalala lang pala--- hanggang doon lang at wala ng iba!' bakit naman kasi?! Nakipagkaibigan sila sa akin noon pa pero hindi ko alam na kapatid ko pala si kuya jayson.
He already took the responsibility as the father of ate bea's daughter. Ayoko namang matulad ako noon. May masira. Right!! Like ate amira!! She's my role model so I will be like her!! Their ages are close enough to say that they can both settle their lives. Sana pinanganak ako ng medyo maaga pa.
"Nathalie why?" tanong niya tsaka binuhat ang 3 years old na baby girl ni ate bea. Pwede na nga atang tawaging 'kanila'.
"Hindi ka naman nakipaglaro kay emily pero bakit pareho tayong pawis na pawis?" napatingin din ako kay ate bea na kakapunas lang ng pawis niya.
We've been seeing each other since before kaya nga baka magalit sa akin si ate kapag malaman niyang mas close pa kami ngayon ng bestfriend niya "Bakit nat? Para kang nanalo ng lotto sa itsura mo"
"Guess who I called just earlier? BUTI NA LANG TUMAWAG AKO!!" lumapit ako sa kanya at hinawakan sa magkabilang braso. Natatawang nakakunot ang noo niya na hindi alam kung matatawa ba sa akin o hindi "Yaaaaa masaya lang ako dapat din kayo!!!"
"Sino?"
"My sister! AMIRA" nanlaki ang mga mata niya. Mabilis niyang binigay kay cj ang tuwalya at siya na naman ang humawak sa mga braso ko.
"Talaga?!! Matutuwa si kuya nito!!"
"I know! That's why I immediately went here to tell this good news! I know he will be happy! Uuwi talaga siya!!" tumakbo siya sa loob ng bahay habang pasigaw na tinatawag si nanay. Panigurado naririnig yun ng mga kapitbahay!
"MAAAA!!" hahaha I know hindi lang sila but SOMEONE will be more happy to hear this.
I witnessed how he became wasted and down that time but slowly he managed to gain everything what he had before.
"Thanks for informing us. I thought you wouldn't tell us with that big news after what we did to your family" humarap na ako kay kuya cj tsaka ngumiti sa kanilang dalawa ni emily.
I pity the FATHER of this child. Hindi niya alam kung sino ang iniwan niya. Hindi man lang lumitaw kahit konting lead wala pa ring mahanap sina kuya. Though kuya jayson worked in the company which was ate amira gave to us. He still didn't forgot to meet them. I even don't know if he is against mom or not after that 'situation'
"I really changed wala ka namang bilib sa akin" kinuha ko si emily.
"He will be happy after the news"
"That's what in my thoughts. We are all just the same" natawa si emily sa akin kaya tumakbo kami sa swing.
I treat her like my own sister. Pumayag naman sila kasi naiintindihan din nila sitwasyon ko. Matapos makagraduate mag-isa na lang na nakakasama si mommy. Si kuya super buuuusy, ewan ko ano pinagkakaabalahan nila ngayon.
"Waaa higher tita higher!!" pati boses ang cuuute!!! Hindi ko alam paano naging ganito kaapaw ang cuteness niya matapos nung mga pinagdaanan ni ate bea hahaha.
Tumingin ulit ako kay kuya cj na nakatingin din sa amin. He is gesturing something at m-- what we are doing.
AMIRA'S POV
"Executive joan, I want you to settle everything for me"
"What do you want me to do miss amira?" sabay kaming umupo ni ace sa couch ng office ko dahil kakarating lang namin sa overnight beach outing namin hehehe.
"If anything happens to me there make sure you know who and where I want to give everything and the one I saved only for me make sure I can rely on it when I need financial"
"You're over thinking para ka ng nagpapaalam" nagisip muna ako sa sinabi ni ace.
"Gusto ko lang maging handa ace dahil sigurado ako na sa pagbalik natin hindi malabong walang mangyari" ---- hindi malabo. P-paano kung m-maghigant-- *iling*
"Where are you going miss amira?" I rested my head at ace's shoulder and closed my eyes.
"Philippines and I don't want the media know where we are going--- well that's too impossible but I want at least lessen the number of them"
"Yes miss amira" nagpaalam na siya kaya nagpakawala ako ng mabigat na hininga
"I aaaam sooo tireeed"
"I'm sorry seems my surprise really surprised you a lot hahaha" tinaas ko ang diamond ring sa KALIWANG kamay ko. I didn't expected that he will propose!!
YET we haven't inform everyone because we still want to prepare for what will happen.
SOON. We will announce to the world that WE ARE ENGAGED!! He gave me a quick kiss so I smiled at him.
"That's the BEST surprise I've received in my whole life!"
"I will surprise you as long as you're with me and after we get married? I will SURELY surprise you hahaha" nahihiya akong napakamot sa batok ko kaya pinisil niya ako sa pisngi--- am I just overthinking?? Ahhh!!
"Stop blushing"
"Why can't I blush if you're emphasizing something!!"
"Whaaat? hahaha I am not referring for something. I really don't know what's in your silly mind! Or you really wanted 'that' to happen??" hinampas ko siya.
"Ace naman~ I know you're emphasizing something don't pass it to me!"
"HAHAHA fine fine!"
"Ahem" sabay kaming napalingon sa pinto nang bumukas yun.
"Mr.jones, Mrs.angala really wants to see you. She's waiting at the lobby" tumingin muna siya sa akin kaya tumango ako.
